Knock it off! I can't unsee those things! Now I'm gonna have nightmares! *shudder!*
Here is the one that gets my vote...
U.S. Firearms ZIP .22 - it was so bad it actually caused the company to go out of business. What were they thinking???

Kinda like a Hog Contest ain't it. I got a good laugh out of a couple of those things. The Dardas is the answer to a question nobody even thought of. Why on Earth?

I guess Ugly is too.

Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

I made the same comment on another site about Remington's offering, several took offense at my comment.
I still say beauty is skin deep, but ugly is through and through.
But in the eyes of some Remington office geek . . ."It is tacticool"
Seems like they came up with a shotgun not too log ago that was almost as bad.
At least I think they blamed the ugly on being a tactical shotgun.

Mr. ScrapMetal- I'd certainly agree with this Zip Gun being the ugliest handgun that has ever been manufactured. The ergonomics of holding it also must have been horrendous. It is said not to have functioned properly at all, and it did bring down a company famed for building wonderful revolvers. So sad!
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

Livin' the dream? or a living nightmare?
It's all a matter of perspective.
Okay, don't fall off your stools now, but I think I win the ugly pistol contest.
I built this about 15 years ago over Christmas break. It is the 30-Erin named for my son. A 38 special necked down to 30 cal and shoots the Lee 113gn soup can to about 1100fps from the 10" barrel.
I made the reamer from O-1 and use 7.62x25 dies to form and load.
My son thought it was great fun to put all the parts together.

Uglier than an empty glass of buttermilk!
Lots of guys at the range think my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag is ugly,
but they just shake their heads and walk away when they see my small groups.
May I present Ugly:
